Construction on the well is beginning soon!
By Alison Hendry | Program Administrator
As we told you in our last report, the village that we were originally raising funds for has found a sustainable source of clean water provided by the city and we have decided to use the funds raised by this project to install a well in a school instead. When we combined the funds we had already raised, with the funds raised by this project, we found we have enough to build the well, and will be retiring this project. The well is currently under construction, and when it is finished, we will write an updated report, and hopefully be able to include pictures at that time.
Thank you again for your support. We are very excited that our new school will include a well, and will be able to provide the students as well as the surrounding area with a new source of fresh, clean water. Thank you for helping to make this happen.

Happy Holidays from CHI and AIL
By Alison Hendry | Program Administrator
The Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) and Creating Hope International (CHI) would like to wish you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons. As you celebrate with those you love, please take a moment to look at CHI’s yearly newsletter, which we’ve attached to this report. As you will see, 2012 has been a transformative year for AIL and CHI. After years of working tirelessly to provide education, training and healthcare to Afghans, we are beginning to see a real change. The minds of those AIL works with are being opened to the possibility of a peaceful Afghan society.
AIL is in the process of finalizing a 5 year funding plan, which will be put into place beginning in 2013. We are looking forward to sharing the details of this plan with you soon, and hope that you will find it in your heart to give generously to help us reach our goal. The people of Afghanistan are making great strides, but our work is not done yet. Instead of backing down, we need to push ahead and continue to give Afghans the tools they need to create a more peaceful country. We are hoping that we can count on you to help continue our work.

Seeking Bids to Build the Well
By Alison Hendry | Project Administrator
Thank you for supporting our effort to bring clean water into one of AIL’s schools and to the village surrounding the school. As we stated in our previous report, when we initially posted this project we anticipated needing a well in the Yacoobi Foundation. Since posting the project, the Afghan government has begun providing a steady, reliable source of water to the center. The AIL Office in Herat decided that the funds would be better spent putting a well into a new school that is being built. The office is now in the process of seeking bids to build the well, and we anticipate that the well will be in the school by the spring. It is because of your donations that the new school will have a reliable source of clean drinking water, and for that we say thank you. We have nearly enough funding for the well and are hoping to raise the remaining funds needed soon and be able to retire the project from GlobalGiving.
Don’t forget! The holidays are a great time to share your passion for AIL and the great work that they do! GlobalGiving offers gift certificates which can be used to donate to AIL’s projects. Also, beginning December 1st, the initial donation made by recurring donors will be matched 100% by GlobalGiving. There is only $25,000 available in matching funds, so help AIL take advantage of this opportunity early!
